About Chhattisgarh Chhattisgarh State, lying in the Vindhyan hill regions and Deccan
plateau in central India, has over 44% of its land area under
forests and is rich in biodiversity. 7.8 Million indigenous and
tribal communities eke out their livelihood from these forests and
biological resources. Chhattisgarh is gifted with the most pristine
and abundant set of natural resources in the country.
Chhattisgarh has three national parks, eleven wildlife sanctuaries
and three tiger reserves, and has endangered fauna like Wild
Buffalo (Babulus babulis arnee), the state animal and Pahadi
maina(Gracula religiosa), the state bird of Chhattisgarh.
Chhattisgarh still has abundant forest area and wildlife, it
urgently needs scientific attention and study for the better
management of its natural resources and heritage.

The webinar was inaugurated by the patron of the conference and Principal of the college Dr.
Radha Pandey., followed by welcome address by organizing secretary Dr. Kavita Das and
speech about webinar by Dr. Seema Gupta, Prof. and Convener and HOD, Department of
Zoology.
On 14-6-2021 after the inaugural session the key note lecture was given by Dr. Surendra
Ghaskabdi of MACS Agharkar Research Institute, Pune on “Hydra as a model system to study
evolutionary developmental biology: Genes, signals and stem cells”.. He discussed about
importance of Hydra in the study of evolutionary developmental biology as it has regenerating
and potentially immortal characteristics. He also the stated presence of similar gene and proteins
in vertebrates required for development of brain.
The keynote lecture was followed by lecture of Shri. Ashok Sengupta, Kendiya Vidhyalaya
Sangathan, Bangaluru . His lecture was based on the topic “Rendezvous with butterflies”. Dr.
Sengupta talked about the different aspect of butterflies including life cycle, food habit, habitat,
migration, mimicry and distribution of butterflies in different states of India.
The next lecture of the webinar was delivered by Dr. Asha Poonia, Assistant professor, Dept. of
Zoology, Chaudhary Bansi Lal University, Bhivani Haryana on the topic “Combating illegal
trade of birds”. Dr.Poonia talked about the illegal trading of birds and other animals in India as
well as in other part of the world. She told that maximum trading was done for parrots among
birds and in India U.P& Uttarakhand are the top most states involved in illegal trading of birds.
The last lecture of first day i.e on 14-16-2021 was delivered by Shri. H.N.Tandan, Govt.
College, Kurud Chhattisgarh, on the topic “Faunal Diversity of Educational Campuses”. In his
lecture he discussed about the various species of butterflies, spiders, beetles, frogs, snakes, birds
etc residing in different premises of educational institutes. The documentation of faunal
diversity in the campuses was done by Shri Tandan himself with help of students. He also gave
information about online resources such as iNaturalist, eBird and I Found Butterfly (IFB) as
identification tool.
On 15-6-2021 the second day of international webinar entitled Animal Diversity the first
speaker was Dr. Sueli de O.S Lautenschlager Associate professor from State University of
Margina-Brazil, Sao Paulo-Brazil. Dr. Sueli talked on “Cerium nanoparticle, a potential ally to
enhancing the cell redox response to fight against UV-induced photo damage”.
The second lecture in this session was given by Dr. Ujjwala Deshmukh, Maharashtra. She talked
on "Spider diversity and role in nature". She said that spiders are structurally beautiful with
their remarkable habits and complex life cycle. There are about 45,776 species of spiders. Some
of which are cosmopolitan except those which are found in harsh environmental areas. Spiders
serve as biological indicators and biological control for agricultural pests in our ecosystem.
The last lecture of second day’s webinar was given by Dr. Amitava Adhikary DAAD fellow and
associate prof. Dept. of Chemistry, Oakland University, Michigan, USA. In his lecture he talked
about “Role of radiation chemistry in unravelling chemical mechanisms of radiation damage
to DNA.”He talked the ways by which DNA of a cells get damaged. According to him every
day large amount of DNA get damaged inside the body of any organism but by the repair
mechanism these damage are repaired but when the repair mechanism fails it results in
deleterious condition in organisms.
On 16-6-2021 the third day of international webinar, there are two sessions, morning from
11.00 to 2pm and second evening session from 5.00 to 7 pm. In the morning session first lecture
was delivered by Dr. Prafula Kumar Mohanty, Vice-Chancellor of of Khallikote University,
Berhampur, Odisha. Dr. Mohanty talked on topic “Animal Diversity: Why and How”. He told
about the various group of invertebrate as well as vertebrate. He told that various inventions and
various electronic, surgical and aerospace instruments are the result of the animal world as well
as a great flavor and glamour of zoological science.
The second lecture of morning session was delivered by Dr. Dinesh Bhatt, Professor and head
Dept. of Zoology and Environment Science Gurukul Kangri University, Haridwar on the topic
“Avifaunal diversity in Natural and urbanised habitats in some parts of Western and Eastern
Himalayas: An overview”. Dr Bhatt told alpha, beta and gamma diversity, endemic avian
diversity of Indian subcontinent. He also emphasized that about 80% avian species of Indian
subcontinent are found in Himalayas. He talked about the causes of rich avian biodiversity in
Himalayan region and the majority of the birds are confined in eastern Himalaya. He also
shared the picture of birds found in different region of Himalayan ranges.
The fourth and last evening session of the webinar was conducted in evening on 16/06/2021.
The first lecture was given by Dr. Sarma Nandini from Aquatic Zoology Laboratory, Research
and Post Graduate Division, National Autonomous University of Mexico. The topic of her talk
was “Exotic Planktonic species”. She talked about the types of aquatic ecosystems in Mexico.
She told that biomass of freshwater zooplanktons is mainly composed of rotifers, cladocerans
and copepods. She talked that several exotic species of rotifers has been recorded over past 30
years. She emphasized that main cause of spread of exotic fauna is due to animal migrations,
commerece and trade of living organisms. She concluded that study of exotic species began in
the 1700’s but the presence of invasive species has become a widespread problem over the last
five decades. Taxonomic surveys and ecological studies are fundamental in this area.
The second and last talk of the session was given by Dr S.S.S. Sarma from Aquatic Zoology
Laboratory, Research and Post Graduate Division, National Autonomous University of Mexico
on “Diversity of Rotifers in Mexico.”. In his talk Dr. Sarma told that Rotifer taxonomic research in
Mexico began more than 100 years ago. He described species richness and distribution of
rotifers from different states of Mexico.

Das, Asst. Professor the organizing secretary of the webinar.
